BBC presenter Stacey Dooley has spoken about the women who inspire her, in an interview with BBC Radio 5 Live. The documentary maker highlighted her encounters with Yazidi women who were held captive by the Islamic State group as one of her most remarkable experiences.
Dooley described meeting these women as a 'complete privilege', adding that their strength and resilience inspired her to be braver and more vocal. She said: 'You can't help but look at yourself and think I must be braver, I must be more vocal, I must stand up for what I truly believe in.'
The comments come amid wider discussions about gender equality and the representation of women in media. Dooley, known for her investigative documentaries, has often focused on women's issues in her work.
